Here's
a page that I found a lot of fun setting up. I ran a competition
for people to nominate their 5 least favourite movies ever
and to say why they hated them. The winner of the competition
was Zoe J Robinson and she won a copy of a graphic novel for
her witty comments!

1.Tank
Girl Blimey, that was rubbish. Quite apart from the fact
they messed about with the country, the characters and all
the little details that made the comic so good, then even
taken as a separate film about a woman in a tank, the plot
was awful and the whole thing was so badly directed that it's
a complete chore to watch.
2.
The Avengers - again, an appalling adaptation, badly edited.
3.
Fight Club, unfortunately. Absolutely *fantastic* for
the first 90% of it, and then it all went pear-shaped and
ruined everything that had gone before. "Naq gura V jbxr hc
naq vg jnf nyy n qernz..". Bah.
4.
Independence Day "God Bless... Uncle Sam.. *sniff*.. and
the Stars and Stripes! *sniff* ". What a tedious load of old
rubbish that was.
5.
Bean the ultimate disaster movie. Nuff said.

1.
Congo (I've never walked out of a film i've paid for
but this is the only one I fell asleep while watching it)
2.
Speed 2 (enough said)
3.
He Man & the Masters of the Universe (hired on video
by my mate after me telling him there was no way He Man and
the Masters of the F*****g Universe was going to be worth
an hour & a half of my life - I was right)
4.
The Avengers (Jesus Christ - how bad was that)
5.
Commando (not as bad as the other 4 but I have to include
it as the first time I saw it my dad's mate pretended he had
seen it & kept saying that a helicopter was going to fly in
and shoot the shit out of everything then said that "Oh it
must be later on", I kept waiting for that fucking helicopter
& it never turned up - I could never enjoy the film after
that - even now I still expect it)

1.
Battle Beyond The Stars - 'The Magnificent Seven' in
space. 'The Magnificent Seven' was a remake of 'The Seven
Samurai' and we all know how good a copy of a copy is, don't
we? Bad effects and a very poor plot. It starts off on a planet,
where we find a Luke Skywalker-esque hero, who flies off into
space to save his people by finding 6 other ships that will
help him defeat an enemy so good he's covered in scars and
lost one arm, then they get back to his homeworld just in
time for a mighty showdown. The fact that none of these other
people have any realistic reason for talking to this hero
rather than helping him is never discussed. Add to this a
man obsessed with old cowboy films and you get something that
makes 'Scream' look sophisticated. A very, very bad film.
Don't watch it. Not even to see how bad it is.
2.
2001 A Space Odyssey (Can you spot a theme in these film
choices?) - I'm sure this film makes sense to some people,
but not to me. It's long-winded and plays out very slowly.
However, once the lathargic space sequences are over we get
a half-decent piece of sci-fi cinema, with all that stuff
with Hal. However, it's not good enough to save the film as
a whole; especially after that ending. Primates and space
babies do not a good film make.
3.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture - This film went 50 million
dollars over budget. Can you tell? Personally, I can't see
where it went. It so wanted to be '2001: A Space Oddysey'
and failed miserably. The acting is average for "classic series"
'Star Trek', the special effects are worse than in the original
series and the plot has the look and feel of a reject from
the third series (generally thought of as the worst of the
three original 'Star Trek' series). A poor effort that should
never have seen the light of day. The only saving grace of
this film is that it spawned a couple of watchable ones.
4.
Dune - The book is wider than the case this video comes
in, which is a good indication that the film's not going to
follow the plot all that well. If my recollection of events
in the book are as good as I hope, it means the film begins
at around page 50. That can't be a good thing at all. Add
to this some terrible acting, the loss of major turning points
in the plot, badly hacked-up dialogue and an apalling introductory
speech and you get an horiffic film that's a total waste of
effort. And what the hell was that ending about? It can't
rain on Arrakis - it's a desert planet! All the water was
soaked up into tanks by the Fremen! We saw them doing it!
Talk about continuity errors.
5.
Metropolis - This film is a classic, apparently. I don't
see why as there's a blatant flaw in the thinking of the man
in charge. There's going to be an uprising to dethrone those
in charge, which the man in charge cunningly bypasses by causing
an uprising in the masses. I may have missed something here
but that just doesn't make sense. Add some pre-talkie, very
bad acting and you may get through the film in two sittings,
if you're willing to waste so much of your life on this farce
of a film. The special effects are this film's only saving
grace - they're actually rather good.
